Spencer and Monique Tepe’s tragic end unfolded on December 30th when they were discovered deceased, leaving their Ohio community in shock.

Just days before the couple was found shot, a 911 call from their neighborhood reported a mysterious disturbance. A resident mentioned hearing persistent banging on a door, hinting at the trouble simmering on their block.

In another chilling crime development, the infamous ‘Torso Killer,’ Richard Cottingham, has confessed to yet another murder. Cottingham, who has been shackled by the justice system for years, continues to reveal the dark depths of his past crimes.

Around the same time, the family of Bryan Kohberger was on edge. Kohberger’s sister had cautioned him about a ‘psycho killer’ on the prowl, unaware of the events that would soon unfold, leading to his own arrest.
